Queen's era

The two most powerful eras in British history were under the rule of the Queen, Elizabeth and Victoria. The fate of these two women is different. Elizabeth squatted in the Tower of London before ascending to the throne. She was not the only heir to the throne. She became the only child of her parents, the only heir, and was cultivated as the future queen since she was a child. Her enthronment is a matter of course, and there is no special danger or hindrance. Elizabeth ruled for 45 years, and Victoria was the longest reigning king in British history, 1837-1901. Elizabeth was unmarried for life. Her lover, the Earl of Leicester, died in 1588, and she continued to live for fifteen years after him; Victoria married her cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Göburg-Korda, and Albert After Burt died of illness in 1861, she remained a widow for 40 years, and continued to rule the empire alone for 40 years. Elizabeth had no children, Tudor ended; Victoria had nine children, their descendants all over the European royal family.

This film is actually not interesting, even if the title is changed to "The Romance of Victoria and Albert", it is not enough to watch. I first saw Mark Strong, who played the role of the advisor and lover of the Duchess of Kent. He was very interested in the regency. When I saw him angrily condemning little Victoria, I crossed to Emma. Then there was King Leopold of TK, with few heads. Lord Melbourne of PB, oh, you are a beautiful and delicious meal. If history is not destined, I hope you and the little queen teachers and students. Maybe you don’t like the actor of Prince Albert. I still have a good impression of real people in history. The Duke of Serena also appeared. An old man with a very tall nose spoke with a serious and cynic manner. He was not at all like Wellington. He should be almost seventy years old by then, and Peel, the founder of the Conservative Party, was playing. It's a shame that there are too few. Of course, Melbourne has the most points. In fact, this movie doesn't mean much except for a few actors.

Gossip, Victoria's gift to Prince Albert two days before the wedding was a diamond-encrusted Lesser George, which was part of the Order of the Knights of the Guardian. It is said that in a meeting at that time, Lord Melbourne praised the design and said "very handsome". His own evaluation of KG was "the only one that has not been abused"; even so, he still refused to accept KG. And all on the KG list are nobles. Is it because of Pitt's refusal?

Pitt's eldest brother John was awarded KG in 1790, and the Richard and Arthur brothers of the Wellesley family were awarded in 1810 and 1813 respectively, both of which were knighted at the time. Take Arthur as an example. He had several titles in 1813, including Baron Douro, Viscount Wellington, Earl, Marquis, and several titles in the West of Portugal (he was awarded the Prince of Waterloo in 1815 ==). So Peerage Is it necessary for KG? Or is it that Pitt himself refused but gave it to his eldest brother? (He also vaguely wished for the great commoner)

Melbourne rejected the Guardian in 1835, when he was not the prime minister. It is said that in the 18th and 19th centuries, the prime minister pursued the principle of never to bestow it upon themselves. Peel never accepted any honor. Melbourne even ignored the plea of ​​his queen friend and refused to wear the most cherished medal. Grey only accepted it after leaving office. After the Blue Ribbon, Canning, Percival, and Pitt all refused to use power for personal gain.
